A map of the risk for anti-trans laws. For Pride, America feels like it has cleaved into two countries - one which targets transgender people everywhere, and one that has taken huge protective steps.

Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We’ve got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

    This is just colors on a map. Where do they draw the line regarding what constitutes “anti-trans”?

    If a law says a child can’t legally mutilate their bodies without parental consent, does that qualify as “anti-trans” based on these criteria?

        I reported that person as well for transphobic comments, of course these assholes would come here to spout their nonsense too. Guess Twitter and Reddit wasn’t good enough for them 🙄

          That’s how those asshats work. They can’t stay in their own shitholes, they have to brigade and attack everywhere else to spread their vitriol. The alt-right is a fucking cancer.

      The reason Florida is listed as DO NOT TRAVEL is because if you’re child claims to be trans and you travel to Florida for any length of time, even if you aren’t a resident, the state is obligated to seize your child and put them in foster care and there is nothing you can do to get them back. In Texas, Tennessee, and several copycat states you can also now be arrested for wearing “gender non-conforming” clothing and the wording is vague enough that it could even be applied to a cis woman wearing men’s jeans.
